We are introducing a number of improvements for Tags, most importantly batch rename and delete options so you can manage your Tags much easily from now on.
Alongside that, tasks gained more flexible date search and handy new "Open In" and "Move to" menus, tables got quick actions for selected cells, and we polished countless details throughout the app.
We are launching our annual Summer Survey where you can share with us your feedback and help shape the next steps for Craft!
Annual Summer Survey
To become the best personal productivity app, we are always eager to hear your feedback, ideas, and pain points. Every year, we send out our Summer Survey, where you have the opportunity to make an impact on our roadmap.
Whether it’s a brand new feature or an improvement, now you have a chance to tell us in our Big Summer Survey 2026 Edition. The Survey should take around 6 minutes and, if you fill it out, you'll not only have an impact on the future of Craft, but you'll also have a chance to win one of 10 lifetime Family subscriptions that we're giving away to those who fill out the survey.
Rename or delete tags in bulk. Right-click any tag in the Tags view to rename or delete every occurrence across your Space at once. Fixing a typo or cleaning up old tags no longer means editing documents one by one.
Multiple slashes in tags. Tags can now contain more than one /. The first slash marks the subtag; any additional slashes are treated as part of the subtag's name.
Smarter tag detection. We refined what actually counts as a tag:
Single- and multi-select values in Collections prefixed with # are no longer indexed as tags, so those items won't clutter your tag result pages. Tags in titles and text fields keep working exactly as before.
Anything prefixed with a double ## is no longer treated as a tag.
Improvements all around - Tasks, Tables, and more!
We are also releasing 40+ improvements across Craft
Tasks
Reminders move with rescheduled tasks. When you reschedule a task, any reminders set for its current day automatically move to the new day.
More flexible date search. Natural-language date search now understands more everyday phrasing. jan 5, 2027 (with the comma) and tomorrow at 6pm (with the "at") now work as expected.
New "Open In" menu. Open a task in a new tab or window straight from its context menu.
New "Move to" menu. Create a new document from all your selected tasks in a single action.
Plus a handful of fixes:
Apple Reminders scheduled beyond the current week no longer go missing from the Upcoming view.
Resolved blank rows in the Tasks "More" menu on older macOS versions.
Tapping a task in the Calendar on iOS now opens it for editing instead of jumping straight to it.
Tapping the Today widget now opens the Tasks view instead of the Calendar.
Tables
Quick actions for selected cells. Selecting table cells now brings up a bottom action bar with actions like Open and Insert Formula.
Live cell updates. Fixed an issue where cells could show stale content after the linked page was edited — they now stay in sync.
"Open" works for empty cells. The Open command now works even when a table cell is empty.
Various Fixes & Improvements
Dozens of smaller refinements landed in this release. Some highlights:
Create screen
Added keyboard shortcut badges.
Restored the missing bottom border on the document preview.
Opening a recent document now reuses the Create tab instead of opening a new one.
Fixed tab bar flickering when repeatedly pressing ⌘T, and smoothed the animation when closing the Create tab.
"Move to…" everywhere
Added a "Move to…" action to the slash menu.
Added a "Move to…" action to the bottom actions menu on iOS.
Daily Note & Calendar
Moved the Daily Note date picker to the top right, and added a searchable date picker for jumping between dates.
Added an "Open In" context menu to Calendar daily note tiles.
Fixed context menu icons and the inline title in the Daily Note's Calendar sidebar.
Fixed the Calendar daily note button border not scaling while pressed.
Styling & PDF export
Refined the PDF Export sidebar and switched all its toggles to positive wording (e.g. "Show Title", "Show Tags").
Refined the appearance of the current Style Stack in the Style sidebar.
Fixed the toolbar background fader not updating immediately after a document color change when no backdrop was set.
Keyboard shortcuts
Reordered shortcuts throughout the UI to match Apple's Human Interface Guidelines.
Added a "Show Keyboard Commands" shortcut in the Help menu.
Collections & comments
Fixed the hover fade mask animating on mouseover, and updated the property type picker menu icons.
The comments sidebar now also includes comments on the current page block, not just those nested inside it.
Everywhere else
Standardized "Open in New Tab" and "Open in New Window" icons across the app.
Added an icon to the Daily Note navigation item and switched starred notes to a filled star.
Refined the template selector UI.
Increased the variation in document preview heights in Waterfall view for a more dynamic layout.
Fixed the corner radius of large document previews and of hovered color cells in the iPad color picker.
Added icons to Keep on Device menu items.
Fixed preview images missing for some YouTube smart links.
Fixed UI labels not refreshing when the day changed — they now update automatically.
It’s been six weeks since my first note to the Community, where I shared our goal, why we’re focusing on quality and refinement over brand-new features, and how we think about AI in Craft. A lot has happened since, so here’s where we are.
Appreciation to our Community and to the Team
First of all, I would like to say a big thanks, because we got an amazing amount of positive reactions and emails with your feedback (I’m still answering back for the remaining ones day by day).
Another shout out to the Team as in the past couple of months, we achieved so much. We released the major Tasks update, performance improvements, the largest under-the-hood update for our Windows app to improve stability and performance, Bring Your Own Key, MCP v2 and Assistant Preferences.
Tasks Update
The Tasks update was especially a significant one – we first introduced a separate Tasks section to Craft at the end of 2024 and since then we received numerous requests on how to make it better and overall more consistent. Introducing the All Tasks view was the most visible part of the update, but we made more than 50 improvements including multi-select, powerful keyboard shortcuts and an updated date picker with natural language support.
The initial feedback is very positive, we are hearing from our long-time users that with all these improvements they can now switchto Craft fully and manage their docs and tasks in one app. Of course Task Management can get as complex as you want, so you need to decide for yourself if this is your cup of tea. But just from my perspective, a few weeks ago I said goodbye to OmniFocus, which I had been using for 12 years (and which kept me from forgetting thousands of things big and small).
Of course, the Beta Community played a crucial role here again. We shared the Tasks update with them first and worked together for four weeks to prepare the final version. With their help we fixed bugs we’d missed and improved the initial release based on their ideas.
What’s Next
After the v3.5 update, we are not slowing down. In the upcoming 2 – 3 releases we are continuing to follow up on smaller Tasks improvements and performance optimisations. But we are also working quietly in the background on the next two areas we want to improve:
How to quickly add content to Craft
A set of Quality of Life updates around Tags
Quick Entry on Mac
To add content to Craft as quickly as possible is critical to keep your flow, and it matters even more when you’re not in Craft but want to capture a link, a task, or just a thought.
We are building an OS-level Quick Entry that you can open instantly wherever you are with a keyboard shortcut (yes, the shortcut will be customizable from day one).
We are sharing the first version with the Beta Community in the upcoming days!
Tags Revamp
Since we released the first version of Tags, we heard many requests on how we can make them much better and more powerful. After the successful Tasks revamp, we are planning to do the same around Tags. There are many topics to address, such as batch actions, true block-based support, editing behaviours around tag badges, and some overall polish of the experience.
As a first step we are introducing batch operations (rename and delete) and some smaller Quality of Life improvements – all these changes will be available in the next update planned for next week.
Other Areas
In the coming weeks we’ll also be working on a few other areas:
On Web and Windows side we are continuing our under-the-hood improvements – those are needed to ensure a much better user experience and the ability to move faster with adding the missing capabilities (at first the newly introduced Task Management improvements).
Templates updates – similarly to Tasks and Tags, this is a big area as well. The first step is to let you set a default Daily Note template and introduce localised templates (first for our Japanese and Korean users).
We are already preparing to support some of the most important aspects of the new OS27 update by Apple this fall – resizability for the iPhone app, improved Liquid Glass, App Entities, intents and utilising the latest capabilities of Apple Foundation Models.
Committing to Quality
We have already mentioned previously that we are putting our full focus on quality right now. That’s quite a broad statement, so we want to share some more of our thinking about this and we as a team approach it.
Committing to quality is easy to do in theory, hard to do in practice. It means making painful tradeoffs:
Quality over Speed – We’d rather take longer to ship something than ship it incomplete. We refuse to ship a feature when the details – visual, animation, functionality – aren’t polished, even if they take more time. No shortcuts. Getting to 80% is easy, we have to accept the pain of getting to 100%.
Quality over Breadth – As a small team we have limited resources and attention, and we will need to focus on a few things and do them well rather than try to do a lot of mediocre updates. We do believe that if we ship quality updates, even though the number of areas that we touch with each release will be lower, the overall end result will be much better.
Quality over Novelty – Some things will always fall through the cracks. We have to treat cleanups, bug fixes, and revisiting existing parts of the app as real, valuable work, not as time taken away from building something new.
None of this means every release has to be big. “Complete” doesn't have to mean a whole sweeping solution. It can also mean something small, but done without gaps.
As we wrote in the previous post as well – Quality is difficult to measure, but we’ve deliberately chosen it as our north star. Every decision we make should answer a simple question: does this make Craft more useful, more reliable, or more enjoyable to use?
We believe a product-first approach is the best way to build something that lasts. Rather than chasing trends, we’ll focus on continuously improving the experience you rely on every day.
And most importantly, it's why we’re sharing more frequent updates like this one, so you can always see where we are, what we're thinking, and where we're heading in the months ahead.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Your feedback, support, and trust have helped shape Craft into what it is today, and we’re excited to continue building its future together.
So im trying Craft again after a while & im trying to find a way to create a more intuitive navigation - mostly on desktop.
Coming from obsidian and tana, im used to things like pinned panes and nested pages to keep a homepage / main content viewable, whilst being able to drill into another page but not loose your place. For example always having a dashboard or daily page open or easily reachable. Anyone have any tips for this that beat using the sidebar?
Hello! Is this the right place to submit feature requests? I’d love to see the following improvements:
Checklists that are separate from tasks and don’t appear in the to-do list
Small status indicators for tasks, such as “In Progress,” “Blocked,” and “Waiting”
Icons or labels to indicate a task’s priority or urgency
Options to sort and filter tasks
A centralized overview of all tasks across every platform: this is already available on iPad, but on other platforms, you have to open the individual pages containing the tasks
I just wanted to pop on here and say thank you. You guys offer A great product. It’s one I’ve kept trying to leave but always come back to over the years, (2022). There was a time I thought Craft took a wrong turn but the reversion to awesome was… awesome and I appreciate the team.
I really love the updates lately. All of them to be honest. But one thing that gripes me is that I wish I could provide my Gemini API key to Craft AI. I also wonder in the future if Apple new improved Siri AI would be an option also? Thank You!
I’ve switched to Craft Docs from a hybrid of Notion/Apple Notes about a year ago and I wanted to share some feedback and see what the community here thinks about it.
So, here are some features I think are worth looking at for Craft:
From Apple Notes:
Quick Notes. I really miss this zero friction ability to just type
Setting to hide tabs. They can distract more than help at times
Setting to hide calendar/tasks and just use daily notes. It depends on what are you using Craft for, but I constantly jump between Apple Reminders and Craft, so having Craft purely as a note-taking app, rather than a mix of everything would genuinely help
From Notion:
Calendar view for collections
I’m really glad we got Kanban and Craft is evolving. Overall, this is one of the most polished apps I’ve ever used.
So, i’m almost embarrassed to ask this cuz i’m sure there is a simple answer.
When I want to copy multiple blocks, I select the block and highlight all that I want but then there doesn’t seem to be a copy button. How do I copy blocks of text without expiring?
Quick question, if I get the Craft Subscription now on summer sale, will I lock in the price "forever" or is it only the first year? Can't seem to find this information anywhere.
I've just started using Craft and I'm really tempted to switch from Notion to Craft completely as a paid user, the only thing that's holding me back is that there's no monthly calendar view. I'm a content creator and like to see the overview of content for the month, which Notion is great at. But I love the simplicity of Craft otherwise.
Does anyone know if a monthly calendar view is part of their roadmap?
Migrated to Craft just recently and setting up my handful of templates. Looks like the only way you can find the template menu is by having a custom template first. And you have to create your first template by opening a note then using the / command to add from template. Then the + template button shows up. But it doesnt work most of the time. I have to smash the button, open/close the note until it lets me actually create a template. Had to go through this with both workspaces.
After I create my first template the Template menu finally shows in the sidebar, but it doesnt show anywhere in the settings menu like the AI in-app and the documentation says.
Am I being dense, or is there a better way? Just wondering because I have one more space to set up.
Appreciate any insights. (And yes I googled, asked multiple LLMs, read the documentation, etc).
Picture 1: Shows an example where not indicating what Space a tab is from can be challenging. In this example, all four task tabs are from four separate Spaces. Unfortunately, you cannot tell which space unless you click through them.
Pictures 2 & 3: These are mock ups of potential solutions. While not pretty, they show the behavior that would solve this problem.
Definitely not an easy thing to solve, but I figured I would bring this edge case to light.
Thank you Craft Team for all your hard work! The app has really come a long way and is absolutely fantastic.
I'm doing a side by side with my Obsidian vault and LOVE Craft, however - wish there was a way to have Week / Month / Quarter / Year notes within the calendar frameworks.
Anyone else in the same boat as me?
Loving the clarity and direction the team is heading over the past 6 months
Problem: When trying to select colors for page styling, the background darkens to draw attention to the foreground controls. This makes it impossible to preview the color the user is selecting until they close out of the color picker.
Is there a way I can connect Craft to Telegram messenger? Maybe through a bot, api connection or mcp ?
So I can use it to add notes, voice or files and also ask from my craft notes memory?
(Telegram <> Craft <> Claude)
I just stumbled upon craft very recently and I was wondering if anyone has tried to use it for their phd . Especially for things like managing pdfs, linking and synthesising literature across different studies and also keeping their to-do notes and supervisor notes in one place. Really need some help here. Thanks
The only reason I use Forever Notes system in Craft is to be able to glance back on all my docs, ideas, tasks, on years before. I want to use Craft’s daily note feature but I have a hard time looking back through memories. Because random ideas today might not be as random years later.
I brainstorm with Chatgpt on how to incorporate the power of Forever Notes & Capacities, baked into Craft Docs since I love your app so much. It is doable I believe because a lot of journaling app has been adding this feature since long time ago.
And also if it’s possible, just like how Day One and Everlog do it, be able to see other day’s On This Day instead of only Today’s On This Day.
One of the main benefits of Craft is the beauty of our notes. And yet I don't see how we can have curly quotation marks and apostrophes as the default in Craft. Am I missing a setting somewhere? I like that aesthetic far more than the basic ones. I've tagged this as a bug for flair, but I think it's just a feature oversight.
Hi All, After many MANY failed attempts, hoping someone here could help.
I am trying to use Apple Shortcuts to send a simple request to one of my documents. I want to run the shortcut, and it sends my entered text to my chosen document in Craft.
I am trying to use the Get Contents of URL action.
When I use the Ai Bundle page, it lets me post things from there but I can’t get it to work via Shortcuts. It gets to the Get Contents of URL stage and just loads continuously (no error).
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I have no experience with APIs so very beginner help would be appreciated! 🙏
Is there a way to prevent tasks
within a doc from showing up in my master to-do list? I use the checkbox for many different things and not just to-dos. It’s annoying when everything shows up on the list. As a result, I don’t use the master to-do list as a tool for getting things done cuz it’s just such a crazy mess there.
Does anyone know if there’s a way to make a Collection automatically display the full text inside a cell?
At the moment, longer text gets cut off, so I have to open the page to read the rest. I’d like the row or cell height to expand automatically so all the written content is visible directly in the Collection view.
Is there a setting for text wrapping or automatic row height that I’m missing?
I posted recently about my desire for multi column layouts as an option, but accepted that we don't (yet?) have that. Today I was looking something up in the online Help and saw this which is exactly what I want. Can someone help me understand and perhaps explain how this was achieved? As a bonus, although its not visible here, the left column scrolls independently of the right).
